The Burj - currently the world's tallest building (over 800 meters/160 floors high) and serves as an iconic symbol of Dubai's economic growth and stature, was finally inaugurated last night in conjunction with the fourth anniversary of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed’s accession as Ruler of Dubai. A grand spectacle of choreographed sound, light, water and fireworks display was the highlight of the event.

Together with some friends, I went to see the show and squeezed our way through the huge crowd that gathered. We secured a spot in close range, but sadly, that may not have been a good idea, it was a struggle to take good photos and videos while in the midst of a restless crowd who couldn't keep still because of anticipation and excitement. Good thing my hubby managed to take good photos from a strategic place near his office. The fireworks display was very good, but a lot of people felt that it was too short, we were clamoring for more and even waited a bit longer, hoping there would be a part 2 or something... lol ...

Anyways, enough with the ranting and on with the photo posting, here goes...(click to enlarge)

If you want to see my captured video, head over to my personal blog - Reflections.

This is our entry to My World Tuesday. Take a peek at other people's world, check out their cool site HERE.

My name is ANTONIO MAGNO CARRANZA JR. I am the blogger behind www.pusangkalye.netMy blog covers travel, events and photography but I categorized it in topblogs.phas a photoblog as I see it as the center of my expression for blogging.

I have been blogging since 2008 but I haven't started photography on dslr leveluntil April last year. That makes me a newbie in both. What I have is the love for photography which compliments my blogging. I amsure most of you here are the same.

I am a member of several facebook groups for bloggers likePinoy Travel Bloggers and United-Bloggers and so I thought of creating a groupexclusively for Philippine photobloggers. I hope that it could serve as a venue forus to share our ideas and skills in both blogging and photography.It doesn't matter if you own a tumblr or blogspot or wordpress account aslong as you are a photoblogger.

Compared to other categories in topblogs, our group is relatively small. Through this group I hope we could transcend boundaries and eventually encourage others to starttheir photoblog as well. It is my hope then that you join us.

if you are interested, please find me in facebook and leave a simple message with yourblog url so that I can include you.
